I closed my first client on 𝕏 for $1000. I did this WITHOUT… ❖ Even 1000 followers ❖ Cold DM/Sales call ❖ Any landing page …after 15 days of releasing my offer. I joined 𝕏 only in Jan 2024. Here's a 6-step method I used to go from $0 → $1000 as a beginner creator: ———❖——— 1/ Positioning ———❖——— “You’re the niche” doesn’t work if you don’t define who YOU are. There's a lot of noise out there. Why should people listen to you? Saying it once isn’t enough. I've been talking to beginner creators from the start. I talk about 3 things: ❖ Growth ❖ Creator stories ❖ Creator systems I add my personality on top of it. My brand vibe is creating with joy. Once you’ve a clear positioning, you need a strong profile. ——❖—— 2/ Profile ——❖—— Good content + Bad Profile = Lost Opportunity Your profile has 4 key elements: ❖ Bio → Credibility and offer ❖ Banner → Brand vibe or offer ❖ Profile Pic → Warm and clear ❖ Pinned post → Authority or personality Your Bio is your first impression. You need 3 elements: ❖ Who you are? ❖ Who is it for? ❖ What’s in it for them? Pro Tip → Share a result you achieved and your audience craves for in your Bio Once you’ve nailed your positioning and profile, move to the BIGGEST lever. ——❖—— 3/ Content ——❖—— Good Profile + Bad content = ZERO Eyeballs Your winning content should solve problems for your audience. But it isn’t enough to get you clients. You need 3 Ts along with good content: ❖ Traffic → Inspire, entertain, connect ❖ Tribe → Engage with friends ❖ Trust → Keep showing up Finding your tribe takes intentional engagement. ———❖——— 4/ Engagement ———❖——— When I started, I only engaged with large accounts. I attracted more bots than people. Now I use 3 lists (in this order): ❖ Friends ❖ Creators 2 steps ahead (1-5K) ❖ Creators with my audience (5K-20K) Engagement isn’t about numbers. Build real relationships. Join Telegram groups. Have casual chats. Enjoy the game. ——❖—— 5/ Offer ——❖—— If you’ve nailed the first 4 steps, this one’s easy. Only if you do it right. Your potential clients want to work with you. But they don’t know how. Make it a no-brainer for them. Craft your first OFFER. Here are a few examples: ❖ 1:1 coaching calls for a pack of 4 or 8 ❖ Mentorship for a week or month ❖ Profile review or rebrand … or use different combinations. One more thing → Overdeliver to your first few clients. How? ❖ Give insane bonuses ❖ Give crazy guarantees ❖ Make it super easy for them After you’ve overdelivered ❖ Raise your prices ❖ Diversify your offers ❖ Improve your systems ———❖——— 6/ Promotion ———❖——— Good offer + Bad Promotion = Wasted Efforts This is the easiest to do and easiest to miss. You’ve done all the hard work. How would people know about it? I was shy to self-promote which held me back. DON'T be like me. Keep dropping your offer everywhere. Here are the top places: ❖ Giveaways ❖ Email Lists ❖ Auto-plugs 300+ people received my giveaways. I tried 3+ creative offers with my email list. I tested multiple offers under my posts as auto-plugs. —————❖————— Let’s recap. How to go from $0 → $1000 as a beginner creator: 1/ Profile 2/ Positioning 3/ Content 4/ Engagement 5/ Offer 6/ Promotion —————❖————— I heard people saying it takes 1.5 years to monetize. I looked for ways to make it faster and found 𝕏. In my early days on 𝕏, I heard this → It takes 6 months and a skill. It took me just 4 to monetize. So it actually works. It will work for you too, if you keep showing up. —————❖————— If you've come this far, you're awesome. If it helped you, consider: 1/ Following @BeginnersCreate 2/ Reposting it to help your friends

All your conversations will be recorded by default. Amazon just bought Bee - a wearable that records and transcribes everything you say. While most companies chase new AI tools, Amazon is playing to its strengths. But here’s the big question: Will this make life simpler, or messier? Privacy will be a big issue, depending on how much control users actually get. There’s another bigger shift happening here. We’re entering a world where every word could be tracked. So there's going to be a lot more information. For knowledge workers, this is both the best and the scariest time. Those who can separate insights from information will win the game.

Massive layoffs are hitting tech. TCS is cutting 12,000 jobs, citing skill gap. Intel plans to lay off 25,000 by 2025. While layoffs aren’t new, here's why it matters now: In the early 20th century, cars replaced horses. People feared for the livelihoods of horse riders and poop cleaners. Yet here we are, thriving over a century later. We are in another historic moment with AI and tech evolving rapidly. Old jobs will fade away, but new opportunities will emerge. As an optimist, I believe there will always be more jobs. Each new solution creates different problems to solve. Entrepreneurs thrive by addressing these challenges at scale. Let's rise to the occasion.

AI makes you dumb. That’s a lie sold by doomsayers. It’s not about the tech. It’s about how we choose to use it. Smart people are already making a fortune. While there are infinite tactics, these mental models help me maximize AI daily: 1. Practice asking the right questions. Humans still do this far better than AI. 2. Choose high effort over low effort in your focus areas. You can’t truly excel without internalizing ideas and that takes time and effort. 3. Use multiple mental models to think and make decisions. Track the results. Iterate. 4. Talk to people with different perspectives. Let them question your beliefs. 5. Read (or listen to) books. Mix old and new. 6. Be intentional about developing your taste and judgment. It matters more than ever in a sea of sameness. 7. Think through solutions independently. Then ask AI to criticize your thinking. The most important human skill today: Focus. This alone will make everything else simpler. Tech isn’t good or bad. It’s our thinking that makes it so.

Want a business that lasts? Don’t just teach. Connect. Make people feel seen. Make them feel heard. Make them feel helped, not sold to.

It's heartbreaking that we can't do everything we want in life. The 24 hours is a constant. Yet, today feels even more overwhelming. So much to learn, places to go, and people to meet. But here's the silver lining: you can do anything. You just have to make time for it. For a long time, I struggled with this idea. I was caught in the trap of wanting to do it all. Thanks to "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman. I finally accepted there'll never be enough time for everything. I learned to focus on what truly matters. - Say no to distractions - Identify your top priorities - Make time for what fuels your passion Because time's running out. Yet there's abundance.

Intel is cutting 25,000 jobs by 2025. They're halting projects in Europe and shifting focus to Asia. Once a leader, Intel lost the mobile race and now faces another crisis. This isn't just about losing the chips race to NVIDIA. It's a lesson in innovation for survival. History shows us that market leaders can quickly become obsolete. Think of Kodak, Nokia, and Blackberry. Even Google feels the pressure for the first time ever. The tech world is ruthless. What does this mean for us? Rising to the top isn’t enough anymore. Success alone won't secure your future. In a world that's constantly changing, reinventing yourself is the only option. Someone else will take your place otherwise. At the end of the day, it’s not about AI or tech. It’s about how we respond to these changes.

Wrong question: Which skill to learn? Better question: Which type of skills to learn? My favorite is meta-skill: any skill that helps learn a skill Here's my list: - Learning to learn - Prompting to prompt - Thinking about thoughts Everything else gets 10x easier from here

Are you preparing for the future? I'm prioritizing - Analytical thinking - Creative thinking - Lifelong learning Let's be a human again!

ChatGPT feels like changing gears these days. Gear 5 - GPT-4o (it sprints) Gear 4 - o3 (that wait frustrates) Gear 3 - o3 + Web Search (best results though) Gear 2 - o3 + Deep Research (Gold, so okay to wait) Gear 1 - No AI at all (oops) Does anyone else feel the same?

Scarcity made diamonds valuable. AI content is making human voice valuable. The sooner you realize it, the richer you'll become.

You got 4000 weeks on Earth (only if you’re lucky). What a shame if you don't spend the time doing what actually matters in this AI age!

Do you own your face? To fight deepfakes, Denmark just gave its people full rights over their face and voice It’s Europe’s landmark law targeting AI clones. I'm curious how well it can control fakes before they flood our feeds!

Unpopular take on future with AI: Pay‑per‑outcome Schooling Families subscribe to AI “learning pods” that guarantee mastery of specific skills or refund tuition fees Traditional schools turn into mere accountability and community bonding centers

5 social media predictions (as we hit mid-2025) 🧵 1) Creators become mini-studio brands Creators now drop short and sweet “seasons” like sitcoms. Viewers stay longer because it feels like watching a show. 2) Private communities win Social media daddies feel noisy, so fans head to Discord rooms, Substack chats, and IG Broadcast Channels where talk is safer and real. Creators love the tighter bond these spaces build. 3) AI AI AI everywhere Platforms bake AI tools into posting, cutting draft time for teams. But when bots flood the feed, users push back and demand more human touch. 4) Short-form video still rules Face-to-camera clips now win even on LinkedIn, not just TikTok. YouTube Shorts lets brands reuse Reels and reach search traffic at once. 5) Platforms turn into all-in-one hubs Here's the proof. Google will now index Instagram. Your public IG posts can now rank on Google, merging social reach with search. Isn’t it crazy? So if you’re a creator trying to stand out, where do you start? It’s simpler than you think. Pick one platform. Pick one idea. Write. In your voice. Under your name. That’s really all it takes.
